The implementation details of the 2.13 collections are explained in the document [the architecture of Scala collections]({{ site.baseurl }}/overviews/core/architecture-of-scala-213-collections.html).
 
 The most important changes in the Scala 2.13 collections library are:

   - Transformation methods no longer have an implicit `CanBuildFrom` parameter. This makes the library easier to understand (in source code, Scaladoc, and IDE code completion). It also makes compiling user code more efficient.
   - The type hierarchy is simplified. `Traversable` no longer exists, only `Iterable`.
   - The `to[Collection]` method was replaced by the `to(Collection)` method.

 ## Tools for migrating and cross-building
 
 The [scala-collection-compat](https://github.com/scala/scala-collection-compat) is a library released for 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 that provides some of the new APIs from Scala 2.13 for the older versions. This simplifies cross-building projects.
 
 The module also provides [migratrion rules](https://github.com/scala/scala-collection-compat#migration-tool) for [scalafix](https://scalacenter.github.io/scalafix/docs/users/installation.html) that can update a project's source code to work with the 2.13 collections library.
 
+## scala.Seq migration
+
+In Scala 2.13 `scala.Seq[+A]` is an alias for `scala.collection.immutable.Seq[A]`, instead of `scala.collection.Seq[A]`. This change requires some planning depending on how your code is going to be used.
+
+If you're making an application, and simply migrating Scala 2.12 code base to 2.13, it might be ok to keep using `scala.Seq` in your code.
+
+If you're making a library intended to be used by other programmers, then using `scala.Seq` or vararg is going to be a breaking change in the API semantics. For example, if there was a function `def orderFood(order: Seq[Order]): Seq[Food]`, previously the library user would have been able to pass in an array of `Order`, but it won't work for 2.13.
+
+- if you cross build with Scala 2.12 and want to maintain the API semantics for 2.13 version of your library, or
+- if your library users frequently uses mutable collections such as `Array`
+
+you can import `scala.collection.Seq` ("CSeq") explicitly in your code.
+
+~~~ scala
+import scala.collection.Seq
+~~~
+
+In the future when your API is able to break the source compatibility, it might also make sense to migrate towards the `scala.collection.immutable.Seq` ("ISeq") for both Scala 2.12 and Scala 2.13.
+
+~~~ scala
+import scala.collection.immutable.Seq
+~~~
+
+Note that in Scala 2.13 the sequence passed into a vararg as `orderFood(xs: _*)` must also be immutable. This is because the sequence passed into a vararg must conform to`scala.Seq` acoording to [Specification](https://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/spec/2.12/06-expressions.html#function-applications). Thus if your API exposes varargs, it will be an unavoidable breaking change. This might affect Java interoperability.

 Other notable changes are:
 
   - `Iterable.partition` invokes `iterator` twice on non-strict collections and assumes it gets two iterators over the same elements. Strict subclasses override `partition` do perform only a single traversal
-  - `scala.Seq[+A]` is now `scala.collection.immutable.Seq[A]` (this also affects varargs methods).
   - Equality between collections is not anymore defined at the level of `Iterable`. It is defined separately in the `Set`, `Seq` and `Map` branches. Another consequence is that `Iterable` does not anymore have a `canEqual` method.
   - The new collections makes more use of overloading. You can find more information about the motivation
     behind this choice [here](http://scala-lang.org/blog/2017/05/30/tribulations-canbuildfrom.html). For instance, `Map.map` is overloaded:
